The movie “Don’t Look Up” is a fictional story about a doomsday comet, but
@NASA’s#DARTMission is a real spacecraft that will deflect a non-threatening asteroid as a test of#PlanetaryDefense. Hear from director Adam McKay as he compares the two.pic.twitter.com/u91Sb4S0Ci‘Don’t Look Up’ Director Adam McKay Previews NASA’s DART MissionThanks.

See comet come, see comet go.
Only discovered in January 2021, Comet Leonard’s half-mile (1 km) mass of ice, rock, and space dust will make its closest pass of the Sun on Jan. 3, 2022 – a journey 40,000 years in the making: https://go.nasa.gov/3mpVPyC pic.twitter.com/oYLoDRAY8cThanks.

Here at
@NASA, we're on the job to find & track near-Earth objects…but have you ever wondered WHERE the known objects are? Through a new 3D real-time visualization tool, you can now explore asteroids and comets that approach Earth’s orbital neighborhood: https://go.nasa.gov/3oGKo71 pic.twitter.com/0eqMIQUhNa

This morning, the
#DARTMission’s “eyes” opened successfully! The DRACO instrument was built by@JHUAPL engineer Lisa Wu & her team. This high-res imager will support navigation & will measure the asteroid target. More from Lisa in the video below, plus first images coming soon!pic.twitter.com/WOL0ifFibOThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

As they track thousands of potentially hazardous asteroids,
@NASA scientists have a new tool. Called#Sentry2, the system monitors potential impacts, taking into account the latest data from asteroid surveys and from missions such as#OSIRISREx. https://go.nasa.gov/3dscfSi pic.twitter.com/lyDpdx2B6b

Skywatching Tip:
#CometLeonard, discovered by@Catalina_sky member Greg Leonard while searching for near-Earth objects for@NASA, is predicted to peak at a brightness that will probably require binoculars to spot it.

What do we know about the asteroids & comets in Earth's neighborhood? There are lots out there & NASA's on the hunt. Planetary defense — which includes finding, tracking & characterizing near-Earth objects — is part of our mission. Here's what we've found: http://nasa.gov/planetarydefense …pic.twitter.com/MUIJ5JR7SA

Asteroids, comets, meteors: what's the difference? These fascinating space rocks are all unique and worthy of study. Just ask
@NASAJPL scientist Ryan Park and he'll agree. Here's more: https://go.nasa.gov/3i42jBm pic.twitter.com/JOhis0EvsMThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Asteroids have been hitting the Earth for billions of years. Now, we begin to make it stop.
@NASA's planetary defense test mission – the#DARTMission – has lifted off and is now on a journey to impact an asteroid in the fall of 2022. Read more: https://go.nasa.gov/30R5x58 pic.twitter.com/qTDqnus8ew
